La Hulpe, Belgium – October 21, 2022, 7:05 a.m. – On 20 October 2022, Unifiedpost Group SA (Euronext: UPG) (Unifiedpost, the Group or the Company) has increased its capital.
The Company announced in a press release earlier today that the Company entered into an addendum dated October 20, 2022 to the original share purchase agreement by which the Company acquired 100 % of the shares in Crossinx. Through this addendum both the Company and the former Crossinx shareholders have agreed to settle the earn-out obligations under the original share purchase agreement by a one-time payment of € 4.829.792,94 to be settled in shares of the Company.
Following the above, the Board of Directors of the Company decided on October 20, 2022, within the framework of the authorised capital, to a capital increase amounting to EUR 4.829.792,94. Within the framework of this capital increase, 1.277.723 new ordinary shares were issued at an issuance price of € 3,78 per share. As a result, the capital of the Company now amounts to € 326.805.355,82 and is represented by 35.824.154 ordinary shares. Each of these shares gives one voting right at the general meeting of shareholders and, together, represent the denominator for the purposes of notifications under the transparency regulations.
A total of 635.250 subscription rights are outstanding. The subscription rights comprise on the one hand 100.000 “Key Man Subscription Rights” held by Sofias BV (Hans Leybaert) and 35.250 “ESOP Subscription Rights (2015)” – of which 1.000 have not been allocated. Each subscription right entitles its holder to 10 ordinary shares of Unifiedpost upon exercise. In the event of a conversion of the subscription rights, the transaction would result in the creation of a maximum of 1.352.500 new shares with the same number of voting rights.
The outstanding subscription rights comprise on the other hand 500.000 “Stock Option Warrants (2021)” allowing each to subscribe to one new ordinary share. In the event of grant, acceptance and exercise of the subscription rights, this would result in the creation of a maximum of 500.000 new shares with the same number of voting rights.
